Read the Bible out loudīy this time in the year, most of our 2nd & 3rd graders should have some practice reading Bible passages out loud without reading all the verse numbers and citations. You can also say: “As we read, think about about this question: What does it mean to think about God as a vine, and a vine grower?” The kids don’t need to provide an answer yet (though they can). How do you take care of plants? How does God take care of us? Looking at your potted plant, or looking at plants outside, can help start this conversation.

If you don’t have a candle to mark the beginning of this time, then make the sign of the cross and say, “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.When we do this in class, we usually say: “Jesus is the light of the world.” We just forget sometimes! Remembering God’s presence with us is prayer. Find a comfortable position where you can open up the Bible, write on your paper, and discuss together without your limbs falling asleep.Prepare your bodies and hearts to listen to God’s Word Put away toys, homework, and other distractions from arms reach (although a little squish or fidget can be useful for kids who won’t throw or bang them).Unless you’re a first responder on call, leave the phone out of sight or in another room! ![]()
